Town considering changes to parking bylaw

Town officials are requesting the public’s input in regards to proposed changes to the Parking By-law that would affect winter parking on Government Road and all year parking on Second Street.

According to a post on the town’s website, one-side parking on Government Road during the winter months is being considered. “On-street parking along Government Road, especially from Lebel Avenue to Prospect Avenue, impedes the flow of heavy vehicle traffic during the winter months. Staff is reviewing options and considering a recommendation of removing on-street parking” in one specific area.

Reduced Parking on Second Street is also being looked at. “The intersection of Churchill Drive and Second Street has been brought up by the public as a safety concern for drivers and pedestrians. Staff is considering recommending the removal of two or three spaces at the south site of the street, as identified in the image below. This would eliminate some visibility concerns when attempting to make a left or right hand turn onto Second Street from Churchill Drive. For more information and to see a map that shows the proposed changes, go to the town website.
